Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the princes of the country have attacked noble houses. Until now, it can only be counted as a slap in the face.
There are five families in total: Wei Guogong, Ding Guogong, Cheng Guogong, Ying Guogong and Qian Guogong.
Among them, the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Ding are both descendants of Xu Da. Needless to say, Chongzhen was able to stabilize the situation inside and outside the palace in such a short period of time. Among them, and with this
The full support of the nobles headed by the five families is absolutely inseparable.
What Jiang Wan knew clearly was that when he left the palace, Xu Xigao, the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, concurrently served as the commander of the palace guards, and the various departments in the Beijing camp were selected by Zhu Youjian.
The distinguished disciples take full control of it.
With this guarantee, Zhu Youjian could free his hands and slowly push Wei Zhongxian into despair step by step. It was precisely because of this guarantee that everyone in the court was calling nine thousand years old.
, and then turned to him as the new emperor step by step.
Jiang Wan is considered a new member of Conglong, but so far, he has not even touched the threshold of nobles. He is from a completely different circle from these nobles. Even his Nanhaiwei,
In the eyes of these veteran nobles, I'm afraid it's all a joke.
The emperor they support is a joke made out of youthful impulses.
In their eyes, this Nanhai Guard is probably not like an army or a factory guard. It is just a nondescript thing. As for the composition of the Nanhai Guard, except for a small number of former confidants around the emperor, the rest
People simply don’t know what to say.
And Jiang Wan felt this contempt personally when she visited Duke Dingguo's house.
Compared with other people who came to visit, the official position of the Nanhai Guard Commander included a cup of tea in the concierge, and it was only after waiting in the concierge for more than half an hour that Jiang Wan saw Duke Dingguo.
People in the house.
Xu Renzhi, the second son of Duke Dingguo, not only did Duke Dingguo himself not see him, but also the eldest son Xu Xigao, according to Xu Ergong, was also busy with military affairs and could not get away for a while.
Obviously, the emperor only gave Jiang Wan a reminder, but did not inform Duke Dingguo. In the eyes of the emperor, this may be a trivial matter not worth mentioning, but when Jiang Wan and the second young master Xu faced each other,
Jiang Wan was speechless for a while, which made Jiang Wan feel a little embarrassed.
Said that the emperor asked him to come to visit?
This seems to be a bit like using the tiger's skin as a banner. I don't have any specific demands, so I use the banner of the emperor to communicate with each other. It doesn't seem to be the same thing!
Bringing the topic to the young lady of the Xu family who runs a brothel? This is even more inappropriate. This has to make people doubt their own purpose. Moreover, it is very likely that the second young master Xu in front of him will directly turn against himself.
If you kick him out, it will be a big joke.
Second Young Master Xu kept looking at the Commander of the Nanhai Guard in front of him with a smile. In fact, to everyone in the Dingguo Palace, Commander Jiang was not unfamiliar to them at all. He was able to escort the Emperor on the night when he entered the palace and took the throne.
The emperor's people who entered the palace, Xu Ergongzi's father and eldest brother, had no reason not to pay attention to them.
In the eyes of others, what they saw was the little-known Jiang Wan, who rose to the top in one step, from a mere steward of the palace to the commander of the guards. However, in the eyes of everyone in Duke Dingguo's palace, they only saw two people.
One word - Holy Family!
What did Duke Dingguo rely on to continue his wealth and honor for nine generations since his reign? Apart from loyalty to the royal family, there was only the holy family. Therefore, Duke Dingguo and his sons saw clearly that if
If this Jiang Wan makes a mistake, he will definitely become one of them in the future. After all, Jiang Wan, who was just a scholar, did not follow the path of a civil servant from the beginning.
"The tea is a little cold, I'll ask someone to change it!"
Second Young Master Xu said with a smile: "Commander Jiang, don't be anxious. My elder brother will be back soon. As for my father, once he has finished handling the matters at hand and hears Commander Jiang coming to visit, he will definitely come and see you, our Ming Dynasty."
A handsome young man!"
"Thank you, Second Young Master!" Jiang Wan touched her nose and wanted to leave while she was talking. It was really not a good idea to sit down like this.
"I have admired Duke Ding for a long time. However, I didn't inquire clearly before coming here today. It was really a bit reckless. I am also busy with military affairs. How about waiting until Duke Ding is free and then summoning me to come?"
"Yes, the Nanhai Guard is newly built, and the military affairs must be complicated. If you need anything, just ask!" Second Young Master Xu smiled and replied: "If I can't help, my father and elder brother will definitely be able to help.
Some!"
"No, no!" Jiang Wan stood up and left here as if running away.
Seeing him walking out in a hurry, Mr. Xu shook his head with a smile and suddenly raised his voice: "Sister, have you seen enough? Come out when you have seen enough. He has left!"
"You are usually very eloquent. What have you been saying for most of the day?"
The door to the side room opened, and a girl in green came out and glared at Mr. Xu angrily: "The two of them have been sitting like two stones for a long time, what can I see?"
"Of course it's based on his appearance and behavior. What else can we look at?" Mr. Xu said matter-of-factly: "He is a scholar and is said to have the reputation of being a scholar. There is no need to look at what's in his stomach!"
He muttered: "Besides, does our family need to see if he has any in his stomach before learning this kind of thing?"
"Who said you don't have to look at it? What if you are just a idiot?" The girl in green snorted angrily: "I knew you were unreliable. If I had known, I might as well have come to see him myself!"
She turned her head. If Jiang Wan were here, she would definitely find that her appearance was very similar to that of Mr. Xu who had just been with him for a long time. It cannot be said that they are exactly the same, but they can only be said to be exactly the same.
The girl is Xu Caining, the elder sister of Mr. Xu. Although she is a twin, she is still a sister even if she came out of her mother's womb a minute earlier. As for the ranking of Mr. Xu, it is naturally ranked according to the male members of the family. The daughter's family,
Those who will get married sooner or later will naturally not be ranked first.
Jiang Wan felt that he was totally wrong if the palace did not alert Duke Dingguo of his visit. The palace had already sent the news to him before he came back to Nanhaiwei after he left the palace.
You know, although Xu Caining is the daughter of the Duke, she is already eighteen years old this year, but she has never been married. Even without the intersection with Jiang Wan on the night of the bloody massacre of the Cui family, she is already considered a late marriage age.
It has also been something that Duke Dingguo has been worrying about for a long time.
Xu Caining has a high vision and behaves differently from ordinary women. In addition to her family background, her marriage has been delayed. There are naturally many reasons for this, which are not enough to mention one by one. However, at this time, the emperor's confidant Jiang Wan suddenly appeared and acted.
He is courageous, has a bright future, and has a grand family. More importantly, this person is not married yet.
Not only was the Empress Dowager concerned about this matter, but Duke Dingguo and even the two Young Masters Xu were immediately concerned about it.
Therefore, when Jiang Wan came to visit Duke Dingguo's house and this scene happened, it was absolutely normal.
